Congrate on the PB Ant - I think its an awesome time on worn tyres or shall we call them slicks?

Thanks mate....if thats the grip I can expect from slicks then I'm going to stick to semi's ;) I only wish the in car cam worked so you could see exactly how hard it was to drive....in comparison your thing just seemed to grip and go under power while I was sawing at the wheel trying to keep up :)

Snowy's R35 sounding awesome on Saturday. You can hear it coming from Siberia!

Lol, no probs mate, makes it easy when they are so well behaved, didn't step out of line at all......

Well done to all, especially with PB's, damn the times are tumbling and it's amazing that there were nearly 20 skylines on the day!!

Look forward to getting back there asap....

Just doing the results here..

does any-one know Bill Theodossiadis in a white S14?

Trying to work out which class he is in.

I noticed his name in the Natsoft results actually... I used to work with him years ago. Small world.

It's a tricky process. But there is a 51 there, I need a little more patience. The poor front tyres have done 12-14 track days now.

Sorry Andrew who I took around for a passenger lap as well, we only got a warm up lap then red flag after Danny came off. We only got turn1,2 and 3 at 75-80%.

Clive I'll take you around at Sandown.

I'm sure there is a low to sub 50 in the Evo, just have to find that balance through the high speed corners. Oct 1-2 PIARC whistling.gif

Mate that's an unbelievable time considering the mods and tyres, you really do have the skill and knowledge to push it to it's limits.

The Evo will definetly go 1-2 seconds quicker, just unfortunate I ran out of fuel and couldn't do the last 2 sessions, I didn't drive out of my comfort zone, whereas PI REQUIRES you to scare yourself, I was not going quick enough through turn 1, hayshed and turn 12, big gains from these corners.

I'm definetly in for PI on October 3, not doing anything else until then....

Sandown on the 24th jack

Unfortunately have prior commitments so will have to sit this one out. So might do Sandown on the 18th with AROCA, either way definetlty doing PIARC on October 2nd....

I might even dust mine off for that day as well. It's been a while :whistling:

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
